If i remember correctly, the company Enlight made the original tower case. Anyone ever tried sourcing one of those not meant for Amiga use, to see if it fits like a glove? :)
I have this tower that is definitely a very similar design. I haven't tried fitting the 4000T motherboard in it though.

I guess I can't be in your club I don't have an A4000T anymore but this is my old project, I probably should have kept this lol. But I had a lot of fun (and my fair share of pain) with it..

This is way before I had even discovered Amibay.

Brilliant setup, shame you had your issue with the mobo too, I struggled with mine at first, I was close to throwing in the towel and selling it all until the brilliant @hese discovered the issue and fixed it for me.

I had a bare A4000T motherboard years ago that I installed in a full-size AT form factor tower case like yours and it fits right in. The motherboard mounting screws, Zorro slots, and keyboard hole line up perfectly. The AT power supply will work too - if it's still any good.

The 4000T was designed that way on purpose.

The 'Turbo' button is a bit annoying though.

I wonder if there are still brand new full sized AT cases being made. Probably...

Yep, any AT case should theoretically work. Not with the C= 4000T though in case anyone is so incredibly lucky to have one of those.

I doubt anyone still makes AT cases but they should be available on eBay or through tech recycling centers etc.
 
It seems that someone on Amibay is working on the re-creation of an A4000T case.... as per original design.

could you put a link to that if you have it? I know one guy, not sure he's on Amibay, who has asked to do a laser scan of my 4T case, so that he create new ones. Say's he already has the plastics file sorted.
 
There is no link. It’s not me to decide. I don’t have the information first hand, so I’d rather not expand the rumor…
 
All this eye candy us non-tower owners have to look at and envy. But among it all..something is missing. None of these towers have what is in my mind a proper Amiga identifying mark a depressed/debossed AMIGA stamped into the case. All the most popular models have it, don't your towers deserve it too? :)

First person to show us a 4000 tower with this problem solved will get...our admiration! And will win the inaugural Presidency of the Amiga 4000T Owners Group. Identify yourself Mr. President! (Did I just sacrifice an A600 top cover as you make a 3 1/2 bay covers of Amiga Technologies label window insert?)

Something like this, but then 4000T
